Identiv and S+P Samson Partner to Protect Patients with RFID Technology
September 12 2017 - 9:00AM
Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ:INVE) today announced that the company has
partnered with S+P Samson GmbH to produce the latest innovation for
surgery instruments and medical devices using radio frequency
identification (RFID) technology. In working directly with
hospitals and Identiv, S+P Samson has developed an extremely thin,
small ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID label to stick on stainless
steel and plastics, like medical instruments. With a key component
— a UHF inlay — this label can withstand cleaning, disinfection, or
hot steam treatments and continue to track all life-saving tool
maintenance parameters that hospitals require.
Every day, in every hospital, thousands of medical instruments
have to be sterilized. Identifying these tools by RFID makes it
easier for hospitals to keep track of the number of sterilization
cycles and to accurately monitor instrument lifetime. The
traditional administration of medical instruments required
extensive manual labor. With RFID, the storage location, correct
maintenance, age, and many other parameters of hospital instruments
and devices can now be monitored easily and
automatically.
“S+P Samson searched out the right company to connect with to
engineer the necessary UHF inlay,” said Stephane Ardiley, Identiv
Director of Product Management, Credentials. “Identiv is an expert
in designing and manufacturing high-frequency (HF) and UHF
transponders for embedded use in everyday objects, including
medical devices, books, toys, and athletic apparel.”
Identiv’s transponders can be delivered in different form
factors, including labels (printed or not), dry inlays, wet inlays
(with backing adhesive), tickets, and more, and are uniquely
positioned to deliver RFID connectivity to any object in the
Internet of Things (IoT) market. S+P Samson connected with Identiv
for the missing piece of the company’s UHF RFID label, a 5.4
millimeter (0.2 inch) diameter dry inlay made of Polyimide (PI)
substrate and copper lines. This Identiv-designed UHF inlay chip is
fully compliant with ISO18000-6C and is optimally tuned to deliver
maximum performance in the customer's environment.
“We chose to work with Identiv because of the team’s expert
engineering and flexibility,” said Michael Boisson, S+P Samson Head
of Product Development. “Identiv is highly skilled in the Internet
of Things market and provided us with the right tools to make our
product a reality. Working together, we are protecting patients in
an ever-evolving world.”
